Possible Monitor Ghosting, need help

The monitor is an old samsung, i must change it either way so i wouldn’t be surprised to be the good old monitor ghosting. I could record a video with uncapped FPS but if i upload it on youtube i think youtube makes it 60 fps so other people looking at it would see the same as in the 60 fps one.

For frame counting, the crazy thing is: even in this video that i showed here, if you pause the video and go frame by frame in vlc or other program … i get no effect, all frames are crystal clear.

Yeah you could slow the video down but at this poit it might actually be monitor ghosting. It’s weird that the thing shows on video though.

If i record an uncapped fps video and i upload the raw recording on a site like wetransfer, would you be willing to download and look at it?

Sure thing.

nice, i’ll be back in a few minutes

Ok here it is, turns out that AMD Adrenalin does not capture video on more than 60 fps, i had to learn how to use OBS to get 120fps … more than that you need other programs to record it well it seems.

Okay so I checked the video and it honestly might be your monitor. I used my 60hz laptop and external screens with the ghosting being not that jarring. You could see it but it was not that bad or distracting. I also checked on a 144hz monitor and the ghosting was almost imperceptible.

If I slowed the video down it became more visible but then it was running at 60fps at half speed. So I think it’s just regular old slow refresh rate that is the issue here

Oh yeah, if at 120 fps you saw it way less than at 60 … it’s my damn monitor. Thank you so much for the time you put in man, i need to put that old boy in the back and get a new screen. At least i know what’s going on and most importantly i know it’s not my PC…
